Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park is the place that amazes and fascinates me the most on the Yorke Peninsula and I really recommend it, it won't disappoint. I suggest you set aside at least one day if you are a photography enthusiast and just want to scan all the sights quickly. But if you are an experiencer and like diving and surfing, it is worth spending a long weekend to experience it. With its rugged coastline, rolling hills and diverse flora and fauna, it's an unforgettable experience. If you are a nature and animal lover, this place is also worth your stop. According to the park, there is an abundance of wildlife, including kangaroos, emus and echidnas, as well as more than 100 species of birds. We also saw lizards inadvertently, but unfortunately, we didn't see kangaroos. The park's coastal cliffs and sandy beaches offer stunning views and are great for hiking, swimming, and fishing. One of the park's highlights is historic Inneston Township, a former mining town now preserved as a heritage site. You can explore the town's historic buildings and learn about the area's rich history. The park also offers a range of camping and lodging options, from basic campsites to more luxurious cabins, making it an ideal destination for families and groups of friends.

Read moreReally lovely place, great views, excellent tracks. Theres camping available too. We went and packed our lunch did the walks. A few signs that tell you about the track as you go on it were a little worn, but good information. We also saw some dolphin fins in the ocean and it was so pretty. The Royston walks in definitely worth doing 100%. Not too long, and the view is breathtaking. The Stenhouse is quite short but also really nice. The Thompson Pfitzner is quite long, and its nice BUT on the way to Stenhouse,we were followed by March flies almost the whole 5kms. They kept biting my legs THROUGH my pants. Was very frustrating, we didnt have insect repellent. Dont know how much it would have helped though. On the way back however, they werent nearly as bad. Only got biten probably 2 times on the way back, and they didnt follow us for very long. We saw a sign saying there were ticks in the park. If you stick to the paths you should be fine, but i wore long pants and long socks and tucked my pants just in case. We didnt get any tick bites :) was really nice there, just bring...
